I )EDICATION. 

To the Highly Accomplished 

:m:iss i&j^ir elliott, 

Generous and Amiable Lady, this little Volume is respectfully inscribed 

to you, as a mark of our Appreciation of those Qualities which so 

highly adorn you as a Scholar and a Lady ; and that this 

slight token of regard may meet with your approbation, 

is the wish of your Very Obedient Servant, 

T. A.. M. WAKD, 



preface. 



Ye who seek wisdom and are anxious to obtain knowledge, 
who love virtue, avoid evil and pursue good, who succor the 
poor and reward the just, who love truth, and are the friends 
of mankind, to you will we unclasp the records of the past, 
open the fountains of learning unveil the mysteries of Osiris, 
and impart with a generous mind the wisdom philosophers have 
long sought in vain to bequeath to posterity. 

Imparting a knowledge of those principles so essential tor 
the improvement of the mind and the welfare ot society. 

AVise men, enriched with the wisdom of ages, have done 
little else than amuse the world with the theories and fables of 
old. Xations have amassed libraries of Learning; industry, 
science and art, have contributed their aid in the pursuit of this 
boon of inestimable worth; they have but pandered to the im- 
agination; keeping eager energies ever on the alert with a con- 
stant prospect of successful triumph, and as often ending in 
the failure of unrealized anticipations. 

But this is oi a period belonging to the past, and is gone. — 
We live in an age of progress. With us, as with the yielding 
fruit in all its richness, we assume the self imposed task of 
opening the hidden knowledge of the woild, and crowning 
with merited success the seekers of the long sought themes, 
wisdom and angelic knowledge. 



Relative to the style in which the work is written, we would 
say, that though singular, it is nevertheless original, and adopt- 
ed as being peculiarly commensurate with the nature of the 
subject. The resuscitation from the dead of Samicond, of 
Jambers, Arbaces and Aduni, of course, is merely imaginary, 
while the general outlines embraced on the face of the matter 
are facts.

CHAPTER I. 

j The secret of the soul ; Its connection with th» body prior and subsequent to the transition 
called death; The resuscitation of the corpus to life possible before its decomposition; 
Samicond of ludia; The commencement of Idolatry ; Worship cf the Bull and the White 
Snake: First Temple of Egypt ; The Sacred Cord; Noah, Enoch and Seth the first Legis- 
lators; Atlantes; Egypt's settlement of China and Hindostan; The Deluge; Melchisedek ; 
His origin; Pure Angelic Worship; God as a Principle; His trinal attributes; Correct 
Translation of the 26 verse of the 1st chapter of Genesis; the Spirit is Matter, always 
existed, Cannot be Annihilated ; the Divinity in Man ; Woman co-existent with Him ; Man 
was before the Child, and the Tree was before the Acorn. 

Illustrative of the laws of nature naturally peculiar to the 
physiology of man, is the circumstance of the soul remaining 
in the casket of the body as long as the corpus can be preserved 
from corruption. 

Equally remarkable is the fact that spirits of the departed, 
when in rapport of individuals of earth, have power to com- 
municate intelligence to man, circumstances well known to the 
inhabitants of the old world, and from which they w r ere led to 
preserve the remains of their dead by embalming them, thus 
affording means whereby they were enabled to communicate 
with the spirits of the departed. 

Possessing a knowledge of this secret and anxious to arrive 
at the hidden wisdom of the past, so long sought tor by philos- 
ophers, T obtained from Egypt four coffins, each contain- 
ing the body of an embalmed mummy; and, after a labori- 
ous task, succeeded in resuscitating into life again the distin- 
guished persons whose names and characters are given at the 
head of their several narratives, in their proper place. 

The sarcophagus containing the body of Samicond was taken 
from the Necropolis near Thebes, in Egypt, where it had re- 
posed in peace tor centuries. 

On the lid of the casket containing the mummy, were many 
curiously wrought glyphs — symbols of occult meaning, the ar- 
cana (secrets) of the sacred Order of its occupant. 

Samicond, when on earth, officiated as High Priest of the 
Most High God, and was of the same order and after the days 
of Melchisedek, who was Priest and King of Salem. 

The presence of this ancient being reminded me of thesiory

of the Phenix arising from its ashes, and as the spectre shook 
from his mantle the dust of ages, it seemed as though the ruins 
of empires had been piled upon him. 

Giving him at once permission, and urging him to speak, he 
proceeded to tell the story of his pilgrimage on earth in his own 
peculiar way : 

" 1 lived ere the Nile pursued her present course or became 
a sacred stream; before the erection of a Sphinx or a Memnon, 
long before men adored the bull or worshiped the snake. — 
Around my neck I wore the sacred cord.* and about my waist 
the starry belt.f and my name will be found in deep characters 
traced on stone, when the winds shall have scattered the sands 
from the Nubian desert. 

" My residence was in the great "Temple at Delhi," where 
I officiated as High Priest forty-two centuries before Moses 
was born, ere Jaunnes or Jambers left the loins of their ances- 
tors. And accompanied by Aduni,J a priest of my own order, 
hastened to consecrate in Egypt the first temple ever built in 
that country to the worship of the true God. My name was 
cut on the stones of this building, and Aduni's was put on the 
stone in the north-east corner of the Temple. On the demoli- 
tion of the Temple, in after ages, many of its stones were car- 
ried to Memphis and other places, and as these early periods 
become familiar to travelers thev will encourage investigation 
and discoveries will yet be made confirming all we have told 
you. Priests were established and temples erected, to preserve 
and perpetuate to posterity the pure Angelic religion — the 
true mode of worship — homage rendered to the spirit God. 

" The Adamic fall was an apostacy of Adam only (Hebrew 
Adm — mankind in general,) and not of all mankind ; for in 
the celestial regions of Asia, the Gins and some other nations 
avoided that fall, and have held the pure primitive doctrines || 
from time immemorial, until a very late period. True Religion 
was partly restored by the Menus or legislators, Seth, Enoch, 
and Noah, and other Patriarchal sages whose doctrines can be 




* The Sacred Cord means the Senea worn by the priests of India at this day. 
f The colors of the belt represented water, earth and sky. 

% Aduui was the father of Samicond, the latter called him his Lord. Aduni Abi — my Lord. 
|| The doctrine of the primitive religion will explain that passage of Scripture in the "New 
Testament." where it says, " Christ went and preached to the spirits that were in Prison."

traced among the Gins and the Hindoos. Other branches are 
found as far as Japan, in the Sin-to worship of God, which 
consists in rendering worship to him through spirits. The 
Druids, and the Indians of North and South America, from 
the north as far south as Peru, all follow in the same path. — 
This sacred worship must not be confounded with solar worship 
or with zabeism of Persia and Arabia.* 

"The idea that the Jews were the first recipients, or that the 
Hebrew was the first language spoken by man, is preposterous. 
The Jews were not even a nation until long after Egypt had 
exercised her power over a large part of Africa. The) are 
not as ancient as the Egyptians, for this would give to them a 
language prior to that people, usurping honors belonging to 
others and leaving the hypothesis of the antiquity of language 
as unsettled and as much a problem now as it was in the 
days of Ptolemy, king of Egypt. The first settlers of Egypt 
were called the Palis, and were from the interior of India. — 
The Jews and Arabs are brethren, being originally the same 
people, a part of whom were by the Egyptians subjugated, and 
forced to servile labor up to the time of their flight under 
Moses. 

" China and Hindostan have remained nations from a very 
early period in the history of man ; they have, however, under- 
gone some changes but meanwhile have remained nations. 

" The apostacy of Adam was eating unclean flesh, followed 
by deceit. 

" Immediately after the deluge, Noah re-established the Holy 
Angelic Religion, erected a circular temple, and ordained his 
firstborn son Shem, High Priest. Shem was priest prior as 
well as subsequent to the flood, and was called Melchisedek, 
(Angel of Justice.) (Shem in Hebrew, is CM.) By this means 
the true worship was preserved for the universal good of man. 
At an early period of the world's history when the entire at- 
mosphere was pure, and man had not yet departed from truth, 
communication betw r een men and angels was of free and easy 
access. As the atmosphere became tainted and man demoral- 
ized, priests alone held interviews with angels, always meeting 
for that purpose in their temples, and on the most holy and

sacred places. The God we adore is a spirit, and the com- 
mencement of religion was homage rendered to the spirit God.* 
The manner of worship was like this: The suppliant previous 
to entering into the '-Holy of Holies, 1 ' would perform the 
most careful acts of cleanliness, both in food and body, for 
seven days, during which time there must be no communica- 
tion between the sexes. The whole of the body being perfect- 
ly clean and clothed in white raiment, was thus prepared by 
prayer. In this state of purification, the person, who was gen- 
erally the High Priest, entered the Penatraha of the Temple 
and with uplifted hands, facing the east, called on the Great 
" I Am," and thus made known the burden of his prayer, to 
which was always given a ready response by the Spirit of 
Good. Thus we have explained the way in which man can 
consult, his Creator, (a knowledge anciently known only to the 
priests,) who sends his holy Angels to influence the mind with 
good and shield the body from harm. 

"God is a principle, — trinal, — male and female, — possessing 
attributes more numerous than man can understand. And 
His impress will be found in everything in nature. It is this 
principle that Moses alludes to when he says that God " created 
man in His own image.' 1 1 

" We will make use of a figure to illustrate this to the un- 
derstanding. When we say that God is Trinal, we mean that 
all nature is physically and characteristically so, and that ev- 
erything in nature resembles a triangle or has such an impress 
stamped upon it, and in this respect resembles Deity. The 
mouth of the infant, the nose of the man, the eye of the insect 
the shape of the fish, the head of the ox, the form of the rep- 
tile, the fangs of the serpent, the tree in its foliage, the thorn 
on the bush, the rose in the garden, the vegetable, the grain of 
the field, the seed of the earth and the fruit of the tree, have 
all stamped upon them the unmistakable impress of the Deity. 



* The nation of .Tins or Gins, from which our words genii and genius are derived, are resi- 
dents of Asia, and are the oldest people on earth. Their religion, the pure angelic religion 
before, the fall, was the worship of oneOod, the Creator and Moral Ruler of the Universe; that 
there was a future life and judgment to come, over our actions in this life ; and that sins 
might be forgiven by repentance. The primitive belief in God and His Divine Influence, has 
been the base of all Religions ever since, in its infancy it was called the "Golden Age." The 
Jins have preserved their Religion down to the present time. 

f That passage in the 1st chapter of Genesis, 26th verse; reads in the Hebrew language 
different from our translation ; here it is: "Adm Bylumnu Xdmuhnu," Adam in this case 
means mankind ; for it is in the plural. We here give the sentence properly rendered into 
English. God is speaking through his Angel, "let us make a new kind of men superior in 
their species like unto Angels." See this subject in the Appendix.

Matter has always existed and cannot be annihilated. The 
Spirit is matter, and oi so refined a nature that it can neither be 
seen or felt. When that transition termed Death takes place, 
and man departs from life, overburdened with the cares of the 
sinful, the soul remains behind ; the minerals, the bones, and 
flesh, that once composed the body, again mingle with their 
elements, while the spirit takes its departure to the planet of 
spirits of a like congeniality. The spirit is the Divinity within 
— all men have it — it is the principle, the immortality of man, 
that never dies, which has stamped upon it progress; upward 
and onward through millions of years and ages, which times 
the tongue can never tell. 

"Man is next to God and part of Deity. Those whom men 
call angels, are but the spirits ot beings that once existed on 
this earth. Man is trinal both physically and mentally. Phy- 
sically, he possesses bones, flesh and skin; mentally, he has 
mind, soul and spirit. He is spiritual, mental and physical. — 
For all this he was not created in the image of his Maker, for 
God is a principle. Neither was man immediately created, he 
was developed into existence by the laws which Deity estab- 
lished for the government of the planet on which he exists.* 

"Therefore, we say that man was developed into existence 
by Nature's laws. Mankind did not originate from one family 
there were live different tribes, from which man sprang. Adam 
was not the progenitor of any of them, but there was a person by 
that name preceded by thirty generations in his own tribe. f 
The story of Adam (when considered individually) and his 
connection with the creation, is an invention ; but taken as 
Adam, the mankind in general, there is some truth in its foun- 
dation. Woman came into existence at the same time, being 
co-existent with man. The saying is a beautiful illustration of 
a figure equally truthful " that woman was made of a rib taken 
from man." She was not taken from his head to rule over him 
nor was she taken from his feet that he should trample on her, 
but from his side, that she might be his equal through life." 



* Shortly after the development of the five different tribes of mankind, and their increase 
on the Earth, Angelic spirits appointed themselves teachers to men, whereby knowledge wan 
introduced among them, which was the commencement of education on earth. 

f The descendants of Seth called themselves " Beni-Teue," Sons of God.

''The e -irth was seven thousand y ears organizing into its 

present form. The rocks had first to harden into stone and 
the earth into solids. The tree was seven hundred years hard- 
1 ening into wood. Next came the development of fish, seven 
times seventy species in the ffenero of their kind. Next came 
the birds of the air. after these came animals, and la<t of all 
came man. During the organization of the earth into its pres- 
ent form, there were thrown oif from it. fragments which formed 
the nucleus of our moon, a new planet, which passed through 
a similar process, peculiar to that which had characterized the 
earth, and in its general phases is similar to this globe. 

"The account of these events are preserved in Egypt, written 
in hieroglyphics, but a city will yet be discovered in the inte- 
rior of India, many feet underground, where these events and 
their traditions are preserved written in the Sanscrit language, 
together with a knowledge of the Arts and Sciences, that will 
put to blush some ot the proudest cities of modern times. — 
The account goes back forty-two thousand years. 

"At an early period of the world's history, when the atmos- 
phere wa- light and free from impurity, angelic spirits con- 
versed with man face to face in tongues distinctlv heard. 
But there i- no such thing on record as connextion ever having 
taken place between angelic spirits and earth's inhabitants. — 
That passage of your Bible which says, " and it came to pass 
when men began to multiply on the face ot the earth, and 
daughters were born unto them, that the Sons of God saw the 
daughters of men that thev were fair: thev took them, wives

of which they (those,*' must be interpreted thus : Many of the 
tribes, to distinguish themselves from the "children of evil," 
styled themselves " Sons of God,' 1 or they sometimes used ex- 
pressions like these. "We are the Sons of God, and you are 
the Sons of Men." * This was the ease with "Jesus of Naz- 
areth," and others offering repentance and forgiveness to sin- 
ful men. It was simply a mode of expression, customary in 
olden times. 

" From this early state o1 innocence and purity, man soon 
fell into idolatry, consecrating rivers — worshiping animals, in- 
sects and trees. The two rivers — the Ganges and the Nile, 
were colored as adored streams. The first idolatrv originated 
in the worship of the White Bull, which was first used by the 
Priests, to show from it* whiteness, the purity of God. It 
commenced in India, and the practice spread rapidly over the 
Eastern world, through Nineveh, Babylon and many other 
cities. The inhabitants of the two first cities, exhibited 
the animal, sculptured in marble, with wings, promulgating the 
report among the people — that it was by aid of wings that the 
animal reached the earth, having left Heaven to dwell among 
men, in order to receive their homage as a God. The lower 
orders of the people were taught to believe that the Bull could 
fly, like angels are reported to have done in days of old. When 
ignorant people believed that they had wings made of quills, 
resembling those of geese, by the aid of which they were en- 
abled to move through to the place of destination. The high- 
er classes, however, did not follow the people in their opinion, 
but were contented to render their homage to the true God. 

" The next in, the line of animal worship, was the serpent. 
The white snake. This animal of all the snake kind, is the 
only one that is triangular in its form, hi after ages, when 
mankind became corrupUand lost to all moral sense of the true 
religion; as well as to the use for which these symbols had 
been used, the Bull and the Snake, they were worshiped as 
idols. The Baehannalians first started snake worship among 
men — they carried them in their hands, and around their heads. 
The Greek name of Bacchus, is Dionysus, and in the Sanscrit 
language, it is " Naash" — in Hebrew, " Naasha," and called

" Although India was the seat of learning , and that part of] 
the world, where idolatry took its rise, it was by no means the 
only place of learning , it flourished on a great Continent, call- 
ed Atlantes/f now go more ; which was almost as large as 
the Continent of America. This part of the globe went down 
in an earthquake, in one of the world's convulsions, and can 
now be seen, at times of a calm, under the waters of old ocean; \ 
where columns, Palaces and Temples may be distinctly seen, j 
It connected itself with America, with Europe and Africa, i 
And the people, thereon, as far north as the great lakes, were 
in constant intercourse with each other. There were large | 
cities on these lakes, and very many back ot them, and on the 
various rivers; one in particular, we will mention ; because its |] 
ruins are to be seen at this day. This was on. " Rock River," 
in Wisconsin, extending for twenty miles along its banks. It 
was a great city, and did not pass into decay till long after the 
" Macedonian Goat," ceased his career ot blood. (Alexander 
the Great, was called the goat by the prophet Daniel.) The 
mines of Copper along these lakes were wrought by the peo- 
ple of that day ; they even used tools made of that material, 
so highly tempered that they would bear comparison with mod- 
ern steel. Those called the Indians of America, are not their 
descendants, but some of the South American Aborigines are, 
and a few^ also, ot them, greatly degenerated, are to be found 
in Mexico. The inhabitants of whom we are speaking, were 
in stature similar to the Indians, or larger, they would bear 
comparison with the Anglo Saxon race. The Mexicans, like

the Italians, by sexual indulgence and violation of the laws of 
eonsahoruinitv, have reduced themselves to what they now 
resemble, a race of Pigmies. 

" Much information on these topics is preserved, written in 
hieroglyphics, in the Pyramids of Egypt. These Pyramids 
were not only used as the repositories of learning, where knowl- 
edge was kept from the uninitiated ; but, as places where the 
true God was revealed to the Neophite, on his introduction in- 
to the sublime mysteries. In them were also chambers for the 
reception of Egypt's kings, where the silent dead reposed in 
stately magnificence, to sleep the sleep of ages. There were 
other chambers here, for the purpose of performing the rites 
peculiar to the Hindoo, Egyptian mysteries, which had often 
been done in the vaults of the great temples at Elephanto and 
at Delhi. These rites are still performed in the Sin-to worship. 
Egypt conveyed them to Phoenicia,were they flourished as the 
Dionysian mysteries j and at the building of Solomon's Tem- 
ple, were merged into the sacred rites of the Jews, by the mu- 
tual consent of the two kings, Hiram and Solomon, and the 
Pontiff of Tyre, Master Hiram. * The grand object of the 
order was to preserve to mankind a knowledge of the true 
worship. Notwithstanding, the society was instituted to pre- 
serve to mankind the knowledge necessary for his improvement, 
and the worship of the true God, it has often been prostituted 
by its votaries, for purposes adverse to those for which it was 
first formed. It was of some little use at an early day, and 
during the " dark ages of the world," for the instruction and 
protection of men, but as that object has been accomplished, 
the society is no longer necessary, and might be discontinued 
with the greatest advantage to a tree government. 

" It must not be forgotten, that during the career of man in 
the worship of idolatry, and during the dark ages of the world? 
that it is to this fraternity that Europe is indebted for the pres- 
ervation of the correct worship of the true God, and a knowl- 

* The Masons did not originate with these men, but at this time the present order and the 
harmony that characterizes it, was instituted by its members. It took its origin far back in 
the early ages of the history of the world. In Joseph Israel's (the son of Jacob) day, mason- 
ry, as it is now called, was in its zenith, and he was one himself. And some time after the 
visit of his brethren to Egypt, had two of them initiated into its mysteries, ll was this 
new arrangement of the Order, in Solomon's time, that has since led many modern Masons to 
infer that it took its origin at the building of the temple, which is not the case Seethe

edge of the arts and sciences. I was High Priest in my lav. 
and the tenets of our creed were not only secret but sacred. 
There were secrets belonging to our order, not written in any 
language, but impressed on the brain of the Bramins, and not 
yet to be communicated even to you. Were one to know and 
understand these things, he could command the power and 

wealth of India, and overthrow the Eastern world. Would

you have me divugle them ? Would you make known the 
1 secrets of one of the most ancient societies in existence ; that 
j every miscreant might become the unworthy recipient of a 
I bounty 'lie did not deserve, or of a genei-ous charity on which 

he had no claim? When man is truthful and can trust himself. 

and is prepared to receive this knowledge, it shall b< j eommited

"The lower classes of the people of Egypt worshiped the 

sun and moon, under the names of Osiris and Isis, the God of 

Dav and Queen of Night, * while the better informed among ! 

. . . 

the people, worshiped the ever living God, the allcreative pow- 
er, which was, is. and ever will be, without beginning and with- : 
out end! A class of the people used these symbols as veils be- j 
hind which they worshiped the real Deity, while others used 
them as instruments to indicate the presence of God during 
the day and in the night. They believed in the dual principle 
of God, "male and female.'' 

*' We have said that India holds within her temples the re- 
cords of forty thousand years. But there is another record 
which has been kept by the Angel of God, of times, periods 
and epochs, a record kept by the everliving God, written on 
continents and on the everlasting rocks, it is geology, a record 
which can never be effaced nor forgotten. And India will vet 
be the pride of the old, as America will be the glory of the 
new world. 

"There is a tradition among men said to have emanated from 
Enoch, that the world was to undergo two changes, one "by 
fire and the other by water, 1 ' the latter called the deluge. A 
written account of the flood has already established the fact 
of its action. But there is not a general account, so universal-

quently men look for the fulfillment of this part of the tradi- 
tion. Wise men may philosophize as they please, ami look for 
its coming; but they will wait in vain for its realization, for it is 
already past. The first great change for the purification of the 
globe, was by fire, which was long before the flood. The sec- 
ond transition was the flood, both of which changes were neces 
sary for the progressive development of the earth. The first 
of these events passed away ages before my day, and years 
before Brahm, after whom came firackman,* thence Vishnu^ 
after whom came Sikya, about which period Memnon,of Egypt 
began to be worshiped as a God. The gods of India., Vishnu, 
Sieva and Brahm, were dead men deified. 

" A third change of the globe is now in operation, but of a 
character differing, in a material point of view, from the two 
former changes. It began after the year 5830, correct time, or 
according to common era 1832, and will have terminated be 
fore the close of the year 5884, correct era, or common time 
1880. We are not now permitted to speak much on this sub 
Meet, and will defer it, until the publication oi the second edi- 
tion of this volume. 

"The Jews, having lost all account of these changes, already j 
past, because they were contained in the 'Most book of Enoch, ^ 
(only lost to the Hebrews) suppose that the transition by fire 
is yet to come. But they are in error and the idea is a chimera. 
The people of central Asia preserved these traditions, handed 
down from our first parents to whom they had been imparted 
by the Divine influence. And we commit them to your charge 
as truths on which you can depend with certainty. The all- 
creative spirit also imparted to the progenitors of our race, his 
holy name, " I Am," (Sanscrit Aum.) He has another name, 
not written, but impressed upon the brain, and seldom spoken, 
because it is the secret theme of our holy science. f By the 
power of this name wonders can be performed; this name, in- 
effable, omnitic, and holy, commands the spirits of those long 
since departed to return to earth, to counsel wisdom' and ad- 
vise the good. The symbol for the Deity used by many na- 
tions of my day, was the lilly. This was particularly the case m

India. These nations, of course, had. besides these names, 
another, which was never pronounced in the hearing of man, 
save on that occasion when it was handed by the High Priest 
to his successor. The Jewish Rabbins make a sacred science 
of this word, which they contemplate in silence. The Hramins 
of India do the same thing. Whenever the Rabbins came ■>> 
this word in the Scripture, they substitute the word Ad< ilia 
in place of it. Pythagoras, the Greek, who received most of 
his instruction from Prince Daniel (called Prophet) while Pres- 
ident of the college at Babylon, instructed his countrymen on 
returning to Greece, that this sublime knowledge was to be im- 
parted to them through the science- of tiffures. Daniel always 
wore around his neck a cord (the SeneaJ, to which was attached 
a small plate of gold, having in its centre a powerful burning 
glass, engraved on which were the characters of the Tetra- 
grammaton,* the holy name of God. This plate was called 
the v ' Urim Thumimum.f (Aurim vet Tumin.) 

"The crystal fixed in this plate of gold was so contrived as to 
open and shut ; when open it received the rays of the sun re- 
flected from a mirror of polished steel, which reduced it to a 
small focus, and, being diverged from its course, was thrown 
on wood, from which fire and flame were ignited by the power- 
ful heat of the sun. This was the manner in which the an- 
cients caused "fire to come down from Heaven.** King Solo- 
mon resorted to this artifice at the dedication of the Temple of 
Jehovah, in order to make fire consume the sacrifice. 

"That part of the religion of the ancients known as consult- 
ing the oracle, was followed by the .Jews under the term of 
" Enquiring ol the Lord." 

"The temple of Jehovah was one of the most superb and 
magnificent buildings ever conceived by the ingenuity of man. 
It was modelled after the style of the temples of India. Assy- 
ria and Egypt. The most beautifully decorated and the most 
richly ornameuted of any building that had ever preceded it. 
Its magnificence was truly sublime. The seams where the 
stones were put together were so close ami fine that they could

place it was taken by the priest who accompanied Moses in his flight from Egypt.

scarcely be seen by the naked eye. Under this magnificent 
structure were nine vaults, in the ninth were kept the utensils 
generally in use in the temple. The most sacred relies, how- 
ever, were secreted in the key-stone, which was hollow, and 
the opening <>f the hollow part placed with its face toward the 
east. On the outside of this stone was the live pointed star, 
with the two iniatial letters of Solomon's mime. The "key- 
stone "* was placed over the arch in the ninth vault, and so ad- 
justed as to meet the eve on entering the vault. This vault 
was under the north-east part of the building. Tn the interior 
of the stone, in the hollow part, was deeply cut the sacred 
name ot God, consisting of four letters. Over the opening in 
this stone was a piece of the same material, which closely fitted 
in a groove concealing its openiug.f 

" The Temple of Belus was the well known "Tower of 4 Ba- 
be!.* 1 Its name is a corruption ot Aba and Bel. The proper 
translation of which is Aba Bel, that is, God the Father. — 
The temple of God, the Father, is, therefore, correct Many 
persons, without knowing it, have destroyed the sense of the 
word, by dropping the letter a, and joining the two words to- 
gether. Its meaning, in Hebrew, is confusion. The temple, 
though in every way similar to those built afterwards, in differ- 
ent countries, was greatly inferior to the one Solomon built for 
Jehovah.'" 



* Solomon's Temple was built on Mount Moriah. where Shorn had officiated as High Priest 
both before and after the flood. Solomon's name was Solomon Israel. The two letters and 
the five points, in the star or double triaugle. of the King's seal, represented the seven senses 
and the seven ages of man. (The ancients believed that seven senses were peculiar to man.) 
The seven senses were, seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, tasting, with the senses of motion 
and the sense of speech. Motion is walking.

corner-stone of the Temple.

u I lived in the days of Egypt's early pride, and was co-tem- 
porary with Moses, against whom Jannnes and myself had been 
commanded to array ourselves and defeat his miraculous pre- 
tensions. Though commanded to defeat him, we determined 
to offer but little opposition and disappoint the selfish ambition 
of the King, for the reason that Moses had in contemplation 
the establishment of a new nation, with whom was to predomi- 
nate our holy religion, in that part of the world where the true 
God was unknown. Therefore we had no desire to hinder him, 
but afforded every means in our power to accelerate his glori- 
rious design. With this object in view we opposed him with 
inferior skill, that he might easily overcome us, and successful- 
ly triumph in accomplishing his grand design." 

" Moses was once a General in command of the Egyptian ar- 
my, and in a w r ar against Tharbis, king of Ethiopia, conquered 
that personage, and married his daughter. He also married 
the daughter of Jethro, priest and king of Midian. He was 
learned in the mysteries of Egypt, and in the pure celestial re- 
ligion. He delivered the Jews from Egyptian bondage and 
gave them a new written law. He only wrote two books, "Gen- 
esis and the Law." * His religion differed from the patriarch- 
al observances, filled up with mysterious emblems, borrowed 
from Jethro, to give a sanction to his new religion, using his 
knowledge of nature to perform apparent miracles, all of which 
have since been easily explained. His system was a Theocra- 
cy. Moses acted as the Sagan, (Hebrew Sgn) Deity of Aaron. 




These two books were copied from the Sacred Books of the Egyptians.

(This word Sagan means Prince.) His civil laws were simi- 
lar to those ol the Palis, who settled Egypt, andalso resembled 
the Arabs. The government was the same, and the people 
were divided into tribes, with, a Senate and a Priest-hood, 
with Judges,* Physicians and Teachers. In his departure from 
Egypt he was accompanied by seventy Priests (Egyptians) who 
constituted the High Court of the Nation, having jurisdiction 
of all civil and criminal proceedings, and no one could be put 
to death without their judgment. Moses was not a Jew, as is 
supposed, but an Egyptian, both by birth and parentage. 
His mother was Thurmuthis, the daughter of the King, and 
his father was Jaunnes, High Priest at Heliopolis, in Egypt. 
In days of yore I wandered through the streets of Thebes, of 
Memphis and old Cairo. 

"In the latter city, Moses lived, I often conversed with him, 
and knew the Hebrew Aaron well. The narrative of his birth 
and his connection with Hebrew origin, and his having been 
found in an Ark, floating in the river near the banks of the 
Nile, is without foundation in truth, and was written by Moses 
for sinister purposes. Neither is the story true that the daugh- 
ters of Egypt restored to this stream to perform their ablutions, 
or that persons bathed in its dark and muddy waters. The riv- 
er was then, as it is now, infested with crocodiles, which made it 
not only imprudent, but even dangerous for females to approach 
its banks. Therefore, the story of Moses, his birth and his 
connexion with the Hebrews, otherwise than is here given, is 
fabulous. He was both of priestly and royal descent, yet, in 
Egypt, he could neither reign king nor officiate as high priest. 
The account of his having slain a man in the heat of passion 
is true, it is also true, that he was an Egyptian General, and 
that his hands had already been stained with blood in the wars 
against the Ethiopians ; for which reason Moses could not 
officiate as Priest. He could confer decrees of his sacred or- 
der on others, and did so on Aaron, one of the chief men ol 
the bondsmen Jews. By this means Aaron became initiated 
in the sacred rites of the holy worship of the true God, and 
was, therefore, the brother of Moses, not by the laws of con- 
sanguinity but by initiation. Thus the religion ol* Egypt be- 
came engrafted among the Hebrews, and Aaron, formerly a 
brick-maker, exalted to the offiee of High Priest.

" Concerning the remarkable exploits of Moses before the 
King, and the manner in which he accomplished them, which 

many pious and ignorant persons called miracle-. We will 
proceed to explain. The rod was made to bud by placing it 
in hike warm water, where it remains for a few davs. after 
which it buds, in a few -lays longer it blossoms. Moses used 
a -prig of the Almond Tree, but a branch of the Peach Tree 
will answer the same purpose. When Moses w . - about to per- 
form the feat of changing the rod into a living serpent, he sud- 
denly entered the great Hali of Egypt's asse risdoro, 
holding in its outstretched hand, what appeared to be a rod, but 
which in reality was a serpent, which is held by the neck, im- 
mediately behind the head, this he thrust upon the floor, where 
in a few moments it moves with animated life. Mysterious as 
may seem the exploit.it is done by holding it tightly betwe 
thumb and fingers, immediately behind the head, chec 
the circulation of the blood, which causes it to stiffen out and 
resemble a rod, such for instance as the Wands used by the 
Magicians of India and Egypt. When thrown on the ground 
it revived, and what seemed but a moment before, to be a 
mere rod of wood becoine> a living snake. The animal made 
use of by Moses, was the water snake, the nature of which is 
on the approach of danger, to open its mouth and receive its 
young, affording them shelter from real or fancied danger. 

" The serpent was used in Egypt ;•- a symbol, to show the 
eternity of God. which it reproented when convoluted, 
"without beginning or end. v The serpent was tended 
with great care in this country, where they often increased in 
the genera of their species. The Magicians made use of the 
young, while Moses performed with the Dam. These feats 
greatly surprised the people of tho>e days, and have ever since 
by the uneducated, been heralded among men as miracles. 
The ignorant often believe what they least understand. 
Stripped of their apparent mystery, and viewed as the natu- 
ral consequence resulting from the laws of nature, they exhibit 
their master spirit when claiming miraculous powers ot God 
and in an unenviable licrht. 

u There were other feats done by Moses, which the Jew> 
have taken no notice of; one of which was washing the hands

in boiling oil. To accomplish which a large caldron was partly 
filled with water, on the top of which was poured a quantity of 
oil. The properties of these fluids are antagonistic and will not 
mix without an alkali, as soon as the fire is ignited the water 
only boils, while the oil is scarcely more than blood warm. 
Therefore, when the hands were thrust into the oil, without 
submerging them into the water they received no injury. When 
the hand of a criminal, furnished for the feat, in order to con- 
vert the feat into a miracle, was thrust down below the oil into 
water,by the Priest, who performed the feat, its results would 
be the injury received ; one would be burned while the other 
received no harm. In some of the ancient countries, this 
feat was performed on feast days, and always when it was de- 
sired by the King to promulgate a new law, which often, in 
order to command, a proper observance was proclaimed by 
the High Priest, as coming by inspiration from God, and the 
feat with the oil would be done to convince the people of the 
inspiration of the law. This feat, viewed by an idle and ig- 
norant throng, with eyes for seeing wonders, and tongues for 
telling them, would be swallowed with implicit confidence and 
magnified into a miracle, as an exploit accomplished for the 
gratification of man by the interposition of God. 

" Boiling eggs in cold water, or rather without fire, was con- 
sidered one of the miracles of old. A large marble vase was 
used for the purpose, in which cold water was poured, in which 
w^ere placed the' eggs. All things being ready, unperceived 
by the vast multitude, before whom the feat was usually per- 
formed, the performer slily dropped into the vase a large 
piece of unslacked lime, whereupon, the eggs would immedi- 
ately commence cooking, and in four minutes by the sun dial, 
thev would be fit to eat."

CHAPTER IV. 

An account given by Arbaces the Egyptian, including the third period of time ; Origin of 
the Doctrine of the Transmigration of the Soul; Curious Account, and cause of the Pres- 
ervation of the Beetle ; Thebes, Nineveh and Babylon; Thebes city of Gods ; Her Great- 
ness and Present Ruins ; Angelic Spirits Communicating with Man : MEose3, Socrates and 
Mahomet; The EneiTuble Name of the Deity; Account of Jesus. 

"I am he, who first taught the doctrine of the Trans- 
migration of the Soul; a theory in after times, well known to 
the Greeks, some of whom speak of me in their writings. 
But, I am not to be confounded with the Arbaces mentioned 
in the work called the "Last Days of Pompeii, " for he is a 
person ol fiction, with no existence in reality, being manufac- 
tured by the author to embellish his story, but, I am the first 
teacher of my own doctrines, the Transmigration of the Soul. 
I lived when the Pyramids were young, when Moses was yet 
a boy, and Aaron worked as a brick-maker, when Nineveh, 
Babylon and Thebes were in their glory. In the last mentioned 
city I was born, she was called the city of the eternal God, 
and was the residence of Kings, here the proud Pharaoh's 
(Kings) of Egypt surrounded with the wealth of human gran- 
deur held their court. It was here, amid the temples of learn- 
ing, with the sages of my day, that I passed through the pil- 
grimage of life. And long have I watched over her as she 
early inclined towards decay, till, like her illustrious antitypes, 
Nineveh and Babylon, she slumbers in irretrievable ruin, and 
age on age, adding to her decay, but sinks her deeper and 
deeper in her own dust, until all that once constituted her mag- 
nificent greatness, is lost in oblivion. 

Thebes is no more ! She fulfilled the destiny of her day, and 
like the vears which have ceased to be counted on the ereat 
cycle of time, has departed never to return. Her sacred 
temples, her palaces and dilapidated walls, her tottering and 
fallen pillars, all speak in language loud and mournful the mel- 
ancholy story of her ruin. I taught that the soul as soon as it 
left the body, entered into that of the beetle, because it was

the grossest of insects, not being able to fly bat a little way at 
a time, and that in the night time. My theory included also 
animals and reptiles. This was the reason why the Egyptians 
preserved the beetle with so much care. It was embalmed 
and carefully put away in the catacombs and pyramids, where 
it remained lor centuries. This is new to you, tor the learned 
men of modern times have long been perplexed as to the ob- 
ject the Egyptians had in preserving the beetle. Much has 
been done since my time to undo the evil of that day. 

"Ere I left the world men began to worship the bull and the 
crocodile. The last mentioned animal, from his amphibious 
qualities, is enabled to live cither on land or in water, and 
swarm in great numbers in the lakes ami rivers of this part 
of the world, being such a terror to the people, and so opera- 
ting on their minds, as to lead them to desire its conciliation. 
Some through an instinctive dread worshipped them. Many, 
supposing that the souls of the sinful look up their abode in 
the crocodile and remained there until they exhibited signs of 
higher . development. This is an outline of early idolatry in 
Egypt. Development means progress in wisdom and love. — 
I am but one among the spirits of your brethren who left your 
world for another, and now revisit you to impart truths, which 
if lived up to, will place man higher in the scale of spirit bless- 
edness than the brightest religionist the church ever boasted. 
We have in all ages communicated intelligence to man, in vari- 
ous ways, this is a part of the development of higher progress. 
We were with Moses in solitude, with Mahomet in his cave, 
and with Socrates in secret places. Moses, when in solitude, 
was a different person from what he seemed to be when he was 
leader of the Jews. Mahomet in his cave, was quite another 
man from what he was when at the head of his army. Socra- 
tes declared that when in secret places, he could not only feel 
but see our presence. They all worshiped the same God. 

"God is a principle, whose attributes are Wisdom, Love and 
Truth.* He is omnipotent and omnipresent, combining the 
male and female principle. We have said that his attributes 
are trinal, they are Wisdom the Father, Love the Mother, and 

*Truth iH the product of Wisdom and Love. Hence the saying with the ancients, " Osiris 
the Svin and Isin the Moon — male and female — and IIoi-uh the son."

Truth which is the child. God is not three in one, yet he is 
the same God whom Jesus instructed men to love and vener- 
ate, of infinite goodness and love, being the same to the Afri- 
can, the New Zealander and the Caucasian, that he is to the 
olive-cheeked, almond-eyed Asiatic. He is that God whom 
the learned Hindoos and the wise men of antiquity adored, ! 
; unlike him whom Moses created for the Jews to worship ; who 
is said to have spoken through the thunders and amidst the 
lightnings, with passions like unto man, vindictive and in 
anger terrible. 

" We h -we elsewhere said that man is trinal, possessing body, 
soul and spirit. The gross and sinful man passes through two 
changes, or deaths. He seems to die twice. The first transi- 
tion is that from the mundane to the celestial sphere. The sec- 
ond is the change which takes place after the development of 
the spirit, in its progress from the sphere of the sinful to that 
of happiness and love, wisdom and truth. The soul after this 
transition returns to matter. The spirit is material, even the 
thought is matter. When one passes through the transition 
called death, the soul returns to matter and the minerals and 
flesh, of which the body is composed, return to their elements, 
while the spirit moves to the sphere of spirits of kindred con- 
geniality and continues to progress in divine wisdom through- 
out an endless eternity-"

The 26th verse of the 1st chapter of Genesis, which reads in our (King j 
James') translation, " And God said let us make man in our image, after J 
our likeness," stands in the original Hebrew thus, Adm Bylnma Xdmuhnu. | 
B'yl means in great shadow or sound, and not, as it has been translated, | 
"image." Mnu is the m'nu of the Sanscrit language, from mn species, j 
idea, quality; nil new, youn, thus meaning the new kind of being. X'dm j 
means identity; muh, passage; hn gift, meaning having given them the gift j 
of similarity. Adam is in the plural, and means mankind. We herewith j 
render the correct translation, which the reader will see has a meaning j 
quite different from that in the text. It seems that the Angel and not God i 
is speaking to his compeers, "Let us make a new kind of men, (Adm) su- | 
perior in their species, like unto Angels." 

As a proof of the fact, that the soul remains with the body until corrup- ! 
tion takes place, I refer the reader to the restoration of the "Widow's; 
Son," by Elijah, the Prophet. And, also to the affair of Christ in the i 
resuscitation to life of Lazarus. 

Samicond was a native of Delhi, and was on a visit, to Egypt at the time 
of his death, which accounts for his remains being embalmed in that conn- ! 
try. The word Samicond means in the sanserif, the great one. Necropo- 
lis means city of the dead. 

The Hebrew Alphabet consists entirely of consonants. The vowel sounds j 
were originally supplied by the reader, while reading, he being previously ; 
made acquainted with the correct pronunciation of the word and letter, I 
and, if he did not possess this knowledge, the letters before him could not ! 
supply it, and he was of course unable to pronounce the word. I have al- ! 
ways been of the opinion and am still, that the letter H. in Hebrew has 
tne sound of a vowel. A child might ask "what vowel," but a philosopher 
could not answer it. Some of the Hebrew words mentioned in this work 
and necessary to understand are : Adnnial, Divine Lord ; Adunai, 
Lord ; Adnith, Lord of Spirits ; Aduni abi, Lord and father ; Abi, mean- 
ing my God, in Hebrew, becomes Eli in Syriac with the same signification : 
Allah means the same thing in modern Arabic, but is different in old Arabic. 
Zerubbable is not, as is supposed by Masons, a proper name, or the name 
of any person. It is a compound word, zer, orzerah, is east or bright- 
ness ; ubba is a contraction of father, which the Deity is often styled, and 
Bel is known to be the sun, its true meaning is God our father, masonic 
meaning of the word is the dispersion of confusion. Possessive ease, Abi 
our Father. Christ spoke the Syriac language. 

The main cause for secresy of the holy name of (rod, which in the 
opinion of Josephus a was incommunicable, arose from the mistake, or the 
misplacing of a single letter. The Jews by the change of a single letter 
made the word Tolam, (which signifies forever, ) read Falam, that is, "to 
be concealed," and they accordingly so transated it "this is my name to ' | 
be concealed," instead of "this is my name forever." The word Hebrew i 
in that language is "Obri." Terah is HBH in Hebrew. The plural off] 
Israelites in Hebrew is Icrali, and the Idumeans, adumi. In Hebrew, Sarah ! 
isEuacre, and means sisUrly lady. Isaac is lyek, pronouncedA izek; Ish- 
mael is Iemoal, in Hebrew ; Job in Hebrew is Aub : and the word Salem

ting from this language. I had first to ni:tke a Dictionary, so destitute is the 
the English of such an article. The word "Jachin," the right hand Pil- 
lar of Solomon's Temple, is composed of two Hebrew words "jah," God. 
and " iachin" will establish, or God will establish. Masonry is founded. 

; on the Angelic Religion, and no power can prevail against it. This is a sub- 
ject which has perpLexed its thousands, and is truly- an interesting topic. 
When we translate " Eloim,'' Jehovah. we but follow the 
crowd and are wrong. Some Nations write it thus. "jod." others again. 
"Hi," H sounding like Hau, and others ' • Hi-vau-hi. " from the Hebrew verb 
" harah" which has been. Some write it ■•jevo" and "jao." The Jews 
preserved the name in the Tetragramaton, as the hidden name of four let- 
ters too holy to be pronounced, and always used it in a whisper. 

' The Ghaldeans wrote it -'Bel." The Egyptians '-on," and David wrote it 
Jah.'' The members of the "Royal Arch." in their zeal for reputation, 
combine three words and write it " Jah-bel-on." The word in Hebrew is 
composed of four letters, and I translate it Ieue. meaning the living God, 
self-existent. — the cause of causes, from " ie" eternal being and "ne 
with life. The full meaning of this word Ieue, written Ivah. according to 
the sound of the letters, is he who is, was, and will be. "lam." is nearer 
to its real sound and meaning than anything else. I need say no more on 
this point. It is amusing to see the diversity of opinion among societies 
in relation to this word. It is pretended to be preserved in the system 
of " Free Masonry. " The church of England pretends to have it. the: 
Pope and Cardinals of the See of Rome, all pretend to have this holy name 
in keeping. My opinion is that neither of the above mentioned parties are 
correct, or ever were in possession of it. We would mention that the word 
••Eloim" is the plural (in Hebrew) and means Gods, according to Dr. 
Adam Clark, Dr. Thos. Scott, and, in fact, numerous other writers on the . 
Bible. This thing has been one of the main stumbling blocks to skeptics. 
and the great wonder is, that no one has. as yet, attempted to render its 
correct translation into English, and that the subject should be left to be ; 
done by a "showman." is not a little surprising. Eloim or Aleim, really 
means spirits not Gods. Ale is the divine entity of soul, often erroneously 
written by modern Jews "Elohim." It is the collective manifold mani- 
festations of the spirit applied to Angels or spirits, as for instance in the 
Witch of Endor, " raising Samuel from the dead," when asked by Saul 
what she saw, answered ; "behold I saw Gods ( Eloim ^ (spirits in Hebrew) 
ascending out of the earth." but it should read "behold I saw 1 
spirits ascending out of the earth." The very idea of God or Gods . 
coming out of the earth is, to say the least of it, absurd. 

The practice of consulting spirits, which some thoughtless persons vainly 
try to ridicule, is more ancient than Moses himself. And modern spirit- 
ualists do not, in any way, differ from their ancient brethren, save that in 
old times they called it consulting the Lord. (Adonia. ) The word Lord 
does not mean the Deity, that is, the ineffable God. It means angelic 
spirits, or spirit. By the Greeks and Romans it was called the oracle. 
Jehovah, whom we term God, was none other than the first High Priest 
before the flood. He often took the title of the God as being inspired by 
Deity. It was customary, in most of the old countries, at an early day, 
for the Priest to be called God. The Budists called them celestial Kings. 
but the Chinese and Japanese call them Gods. 

In the Hebrew CH, stands for Seth, and "Beni Aleim" is translated Sons 
of God. It really means " Sons of Spirits, " for Aleim is the plural, and there 
is but one God. Seth means foundation. He was not a son of Adam, 
but the head of a distinct tribe, and communicated divine knowledge to 
mankind after the fall. Several of his books are still preserved by the 
Armenians and the. Hindoos. 

The Chinese name for the Deitv is "Josh." This reminds one of the

Quaker christening. The fellow took tip the child and said, "I take thee 
up and I lay thee down, and thy name shall be "Josh." 

Noah was known in Central Asia as the " Great Prophet and law-giver.*' 
He lived three hundred years after the flood, and had many sous besides 
the three mentioned in the Jewish Bible. In India he was called Menu, 
and wrote ten books, including the "Laws of Menu," under inspiration. 

The Mosaic history, and nearly all the books of Genesis, are taken from 
his records. There were eighty persons with him at the time he entered 
the Ark. The passage of S. riptnre, " and Noah went into the Ark, and 
his sons and his wife and and his sons wives with him," should be render- 
ed eighty instead of eight persons. 

Nimrod, and the Faction that followed him, were unbelievers. He de- 
rived no consolation from the preaching of Noah or Shem, and com- 
menced building a Tower to escape a future flood, an evidence of his own 
depravity and the withdrawal from hirn of the holy influence of the spirit 
of God. 

The Sythians are Seth's descendants. Enoch was the first born son of 
Seth, and appointed by his father. King and Priest of the Zabeans whose 
founder he was. 

The book written by Enoch, long supposed to be lost, has been lately 
found in Abyssinia, 

Mosr.s, means saved from the waters ; his real name was Moses Jachim. 

At the building of the Temple of Solomon there were two persons by 
the name of Hiram, one was the King of Tyre, and the other was an artisan, 
High Priest of the DiOnysians. The Masons, when alluding to him, call 
him "Hiram Abif," —Hiram my Father." It is the possessive case, and 
" Our Father Hiram" would be correct The French and English versions 
translate it " Hiram Abif."' It must not be forgotten that the French trans- 
lation is from the English and not from the Hebrew. The Masons have 
followed these versions in their use of the word. There is no authority 
in the Bible, after all, for the phrase ' ' Hiram Abif. " It stands in the 
Scripture Hiram Abi, and I here translate it literally, "Hiram the Master." 

There is but one writer, Luther, the "German Reformer," (but he is a 
host in himself) who coincides with me in the translation thus rendered. 

I am not zealous of biblical reputation, either as a theologist or transla- 
tor of the Bible, for I have not the time, even had I the inclination, to de- 
vote much attention to the subject, yet am unwilling to relinquish a prin- 
ciple that I know to be true. And, although a 4 ' showman, " traveling through 
the country with an exhibition, I consider it no flattery, deviation from 
truth or propriety, to assert, that I am a better oriental scholar, than many 
of those who set themselves up as public Teachers with high claims to 
knowledge, whose pretensions rest on no other foundations than those of 
impertinence and conceit. "What a man does not understand himself, 
he cannot explain to an enquirer." Persons unaware of their own ignor- 
ance generally believe what they least understand. 

The word "Trinity," applied to God, is improper. It means three in 
one. He is not three in one, though His attributes are triual. He is one 
Supreme and ever-living God, without beginning or end. 

The ancient inhabitants of Jericho, had on their banner the figures of 
the sun and moon, hence the language of the Jewish General Joshua, "Sun 
stand thou still on Gibeon, and thou Moon, in the valley of Ajalon," must 
be construed as to mean the banner of this people, and not the great lu- 
minaries that give warmth by day and light by night. The idea of tins sun 
and moon standing still is preposterous.

From the fact that there wove other tribes on the earth, than the descend- 
ants of Adam, it is not difficult to conjecture how Cain obtained his wife 
in the land of "Nod." 

The doctrines of Pythagoras were called Therrigy, and were a part of 
Masonry. Therrigy is a compound word, Theos (^od. and ergon work, and 
signifies spiritual influence operating by divine means, the power of doing 
extraordinary things by prayer and invocation t<> God. 

Masonry took its rise in Delhi. India, and was instituted by the Brahms. 

[Bramins,] for the purpose of guarding themselves against the secular 

power of the State, and for obtaining information from the people, that 

they might be kept well informed of all matters concerning the empire. It 

soon spread throughout the old world. and was organized in various count- 

I ries under different names. In Egypt, it was known as the Egyptian mys- 

i teries. with Osiris symbolizing the sun as the principle of life and God of 

• the day: the moon fsis") as the Goddess of the nuptial rites and Queen of 

; the night. There were seven degrees in all: only three, however, were 

j conferred on the common people, and live on tho> c . of a higher rank. The 

other two, eonipletmg the sev^-n. were never conferred on any outside of 

the Priesthood. The neophyte was iniatiated ;it twenty-one years of age, 

seven years to each degree, so th tt the high priest was seventy vears of age 

before lie could officiate as priest of the nation, this was the case in India. 

The forty-seventh problem of the first book of Euclid: The square of 
the base is four, I times 4 are sixteen; the square of the perpendicular is 
three, 3 times 3 are nine, and the square of the hypothenuseisfive. 5 times 
5 are twenty-five. 25 is the sum of '.> and 16. and. therefore, the square of 
the longest side is equal to the sum of the other two squares — con- 
sidering it in a mathematical point of view — masonically, it ha* another 
and a more important meaning, namely: The large square refers to the 
Divine mind, while the two smaller squares, acting as angles, represent the 
two paths tnrough life, one leading to vice and misery, and the other to 
peace and happiness. 



The Pope and the clergy of the Catholic church are reviled for forgiving 
sins. The idea is by no means new. The Egyptians exercised the same 
power over the nimds of their followers, and the Jews had their sin-offer- 
ing and their atonement. They had their "mercy seat '' over the ark of 
the covenant, where a being, represented as a God. sat and signified weal 
or wo to the suppliant. 

The winy;* of the cherubim, over the mercy seat, were erect, so are the 
wings of the eagle on the American coin : the wings in both cases being in- 
tended to answer the same purpose. From this was taken the grand sign 
of* * * belonging to the •• Royal Arch." degree. 

The main theme of all the mysterious orders of antiquity, was the 
doctrine that there was one G-od, the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, and 
a future state of rewards and punishments. 

The books of Noah and Enoch, were the works from which the ancients 
i derived their knowledge of the Divine God. It is evident that Plato was 
familiar with the book of Enoch. He says. ; - tell me of the God On, which 
is and never knew beginning." Seneca, the Roman writer, seems to have 
been equally well versed in the same work. Speaking of God, he says: 
• k It is of little consequence by what name you call the first nature and the 
Divine reason that presides over the Universe, he is still the same God.

one soul principle, everywhere present " Pretty good idea of God, 1'or one 
who is called by Christian writers a ' ' heathen. " 

The idea, of sacrificing a human being to appease the storm, is carried 
out in the affair of the story of Jonah being swallowed by the whale. The 
word Jonah, in Hebrew, means dove, and the whale is not an inhabitant of 
the Mediterranean sea, neither is the throat of the whale sufficiently large 
to swallow a ball six inches in diameter, let alone swallowing a man. 

A word to my particular friends, and to those who can understand me on 
this point. It is a well known fact that that passage in the 1st chapter of 
the Gospel of St John. "In the beginning was the word," etc., is an in- 
terpolation and not in the original work. The divine Logus, therefore, be- 
longs to the Egyptian mysteries. The application in the lodge, however, is 
pretty ingenious. 

Another point concerning Hiram. The cassia, or acacia, did not grow 
near Jerusalem, but is common in Egypt, am evidence that the murder of 
Hiram is derived from the Egyptian mysteries, in which it but faintly imi- 
tates the murder of Osiris by Typhon. My friends will understand this 
point without saying any more on this subject. A word to the wise is 
sufficient for them. 

The Dionysians were an order originally instituted for the worship of 
the Supreme Being, and was a branch of the Egyptian mysteries, but be- 
fore the time of Solomon the Order had greatly degenerated into the prac- 
tice of idolatry, substituting for adoration in place of the Supreme Being, 
the serpent, which they had always used as a symbol of the eternity of 
God. The serpegt when convoluted, with its tnil in its mouth, represented 
a circle. The Deity is represented as a being without beginning or end. 
The first snake ever used for this purpose was a white one. This kind of 
snake is singularly formed, being shaped like a triangle, besides being 
transparent. 

Dionysous and Bacchus are the same. Deo-Naasha, among thePhene- 
cians, Deo God, and Naasha snake. That is, the God Snake. Naasha 
is also the Hebrew for snake. There was very little difference between the 
Egyptian, the Phenecian and the Hebrew languages, in fact, the Egyptian 
and Hebrew were the same. 

The symbol of the snake originated in the mysteries of Osiris, the 
Egyptian mysteries. But at the building of Solomon's Temple, the Dion- 
ysian and the true mysteries, which had been preserved by the Jews, were 
merged together into one, and what is now called Masonry, then received 
its present order. Solomon, King Hiram and Master Hiram, High Priest 
of the Dionysians at Tj 7 re, constituting themselves Grand Masters, gave 
Masonry its present organization, instituting Wardens, Senior Wardens, 
Junior Wardens, High Priests, Chapters, &c. A proper want of this knowl- 
edge has led many of the fraternity to place the origin of the order at the 
building of Solomon's Temple. It was in existence centuries before Solo- 
mon was born. 

The two pillars in the Masonic lodge ('vlachin and Boaz,") properly 
mean to represent Osiris and Isis. Osiris the sun and Isis the moon. Jachin 
is from Jarac, the Hebrew for moon, and Boaz is compounded of Lord, the 
sun. The main features of all these secret orders is the unseen power that 
governs the subordinate, who is subject to a superior that he can neither 
see nor approach. 

Samicond .speaks of the city of the Gods. Thebes of Egypt was called 
"Deo Opolis," city of God. He also alludes to the city of No. Anion 
No the abode of Ham.

raven, hence a stupid Dutch writer, treating on the antiquity of the Arabs. 
and mistaking the emblem on their banner for the people, calls thun a 
nation of crows. 

The native of Hindostan chisels out of wood or stone, an object which 
he calls his God. and bows down to it in adoration. And for this the Christ- 
ian calls him a heathen. The devout Catholic tells his beads and prays in 
the name of some Saint long dead. And the New England Puritan calls ; ; 
him a bigot, while he pictures to himself an object with a human form and 
passions like man. and prays to it as his God. Surely, who Is the heathen .' . 
who is the bigot .' and who Is the Christian ? 

The word Paradise is a Sanscrit word, and, is derived from Para-desa. Tt 

means pure land, and is'the same in Hebrew that it is in Sanscrit. 

The bee among the ancients was a symbol of chastity, with the Masons it 
means industry. Keep an eye on the "land marls.*' 

Iron will swim in molten lead. But I did not know that iron would 
swim in water. Eiisha, the Prophet, says he i; made iron swim in water.'" 
With all my knowledge of magic, T must confess myself unable to perform 
this feat. 

The sun is the fountain of light to the world, so is the eye to the body. 
They are both expressed by the same word in most of the ancient langua- 
ges. My brethren are in error, in supposing that the eye represent* the 
true God. It means nothing more nor less than the symbol of the sun, 
made so by the Egyptians from whom it descended to the present fraternity. 

It was Seth who erected the two pillars in the land of Seirath. on which 
were written the prediction of the flood, and the final destruction of the 
earth by fire. Manetho, a Greek writer, though an Egyptian by birth, says 
he saw these "pillars." Josephus, the Jewish historian, who lived several 
centuries later than Manetho, and seventy years after the birth of Christ, 
says that he saw them.

A Valuable Discovery in the Healing Art, A true Digestive 
Fluid, An Antidote for Dyspepsia; Weak Stomach; 
Functional Derangement of the Liver and Spleen; Prostra- 
ted Nervous System; "Impotence" or Weakness of the 
Generative Organs; Phosphatic Deposites in the Bladder

The Gastric Juice of the Stomach, and that which is most important in the digestive 
process, is an acid, When this is deficient in quantity, or depreciated in quality, indigestion 
is the legitimate result, with all the varied symptoms of the confirmed dyspeptic. Most 
people afflicted with this disease depend upon soda or some alkali to sweeten the stomach, — 
This, of course, gives temporary relief, but seldom cures, and often makes the disease incur- 
able by neutralising the already depreciated gastric juice. Thus it is evident that alkalies 
should not be used as palliatives even. Stimulants and tonics with occasionally a blue pill 
are next resorted to. These remedies often give temporary relief but never cure a confirmed 
case of Dyspepsia, and when these remedies are persisted in for a certain lougth of time, the

stomach n.nd liver will refuse to respond even to increased doses. Then comes the crash. — j 
A torpid liver and a stomach to weak to respond to stimulants or tonics, produces the "Dys- 
peptic Hypochondriac.'" the most pitiable human being on God's green earth. The great de- ; 
sideratum then, istofindan agent to restore the stomach to its normal action, after being I 
reduced to this deplorable condition. He who accomplishes this object will certainly be ac- | 
kuowledged a benefactor to his race. Well, afflicted friends. I have entered the ring for 
the prize and expect to take the first premium: and it will be awarded by the afflicted thou- 
sands who have been and will be cured by the " Digestive Fluid." This remedy is adapted to 
any stage of the disease and you will receive benefit from the fii>t dose taken. Many will be I 
curious to know what this remedy is. In the first place 1 will tell you what it is not. It is 
not a stimulant, still it will increase the action of the stomach by establishing the healthy 
digestive process, ft is not a tonic, but will give tone to the stomach by promptly digesting | 
the food, thus allowing the stomach the proper interval of rest. The Digestive Fluid is not 
an alkali, but directly the opposite; still it will promptly neutralize the vitiated acids of the 
stomach and thus remove heartburn, eructations of gas or food, or sickness of the stomach. 
It is not a disinfectant, but it will remove foul breath, coated tongue, spongy gums, and all 
diseases of the mouth and teeth resulting from a foul or weak stomach. Tt is not a cathartic 
but will remove constipation, by chemically uniting with the bile, which is an alkali, produ- 
cing the natural physic of the alimentary canal. It i< neither a vegetable nor a mineral, nei- 
ther is the gastric juice, of which this is an imitation as near as the laws of coemistry will 
permit outside the human stomach. 

Dyspepsia ott en commences with the infant : flatulency, raising gas or wind, colic pains 
Ac. Most mothers immediately drug the little fellows with cordials, soothing syrup, ic. — 
This is nothing more or less than too much acidity, the result of fermentation of the milk, — 
A few drops of the Digestive Fluid will give relief immediately. For children give it in 
sweetened water. In cases of fever of any kind, a tea>poonful in a tumbler of water sweet- 
ened, makes a refreshing drink, and is pleasant as lemonade. 

Most people of sedentary habits, especially those engaged in business that requires mental 
labor, are more or less affected with gastric derangement. We especially recommend this 
remedy to this class of people. We would call the attention of another class: People that 
live fast have plenty of means, and are determinod to enjoy the good things of this life regard- 
less of consequences, although the penalty must be paid some time. The Digestive fluid will 
put off the pay day much farther in the future, and when yon conclude to return to steady 
habits like the prodigal son. it will restore you to your first inheritance. 

Females, during pregnancy, are very liable to derangements of the stomach and bowels. — 
This remedy. Ladies, is just what you need. Another class of people, *with very sensitive 
nervous temperaments, always have sick headache when the stomach becomes deranged. — 
This will cure headache if persevered in a sufficient length of time. Another class are 
troubled with periodical attacks of colic. Take this remedy for two or three months and oc- 
casionally take a dose when the stomach is deranged, and that will end the colic. 

Chronic Diarrhoea is often the result of indigestion, in fact nearly every case. The Diges- 
tive Fluid will not check the bowels, but it will stop the fermentation of the food and facili- 
tate digestion, and will effect a cure if persevered in when all other means fail. 

In cases of Gravel it will not give relief until after the depositesthat have already taken 
place are removed. Then it will prevent their future deposite, 

DOSE — For an adult, quarter, half or a teaspoonfull after eating. Children in same propor-
